Senator Riddieberger on Judge
Bond.

The Shenandoah Herald. Senator
Riddleberger's paper, says: That
licentiatc club house remnant and
relic of Southern Cutragcs. Hugh L..
Bond, has just perpetrated another
judicial outrage by fining and impris-
oning the Acknowledgement of Fir-
ginia, and the Commonwealth At
torncy Of Fauquier. The alleged
cause is simply this: The last lcgis-
lature passed an act requiring certain
actions to be brought to collect taxes
in money where coupons were offered.
and these officials were oheying this
law of their State. which this wretch
ed tool Of the bondholders held to be
in contempt of his court. We have
not the space, o would we sully our
columns if we had. by reproducing
his low, vulgar and insulting opinion.
For his illusions to Scott. from his
position of advantage, he ought to be
stripped, peppered, tarrcd and feath-
cred. 1t would be better law than
he administered if the people OF
Richmond would tie Il piece of pig
iron about his neck and throw him
over Mapo's bridge.

OBITUARY.
Departed this life on the 18th day of October.
HERBERT STROTHER. infant son of Floyd
and Anna Watson. aged | year and "a days.
He was one of the sweetest. loveliest ana
most interesting little children the writer has
ever known. None saw him but to love him.
He seemed like q little angel sent from heaven
to bless us for n brief season with his presence,
but To return thither again to his angelic house.
He was q remarkable precious child. though so
young. OH how sad 1t il tonight without
dear little Herbert we miss his little prattling
tongue and his little footsteps so. When his
papa came in the first thing was little Herbert
He would put up his little hands and his little
eyes would fairly dance in his head. as though
he would think if ] only could get To my papa
And inst TO think how sad it is to- set aside the
little crib aud little chair which held HIM SO
often by his mama's side. Their home Is rued
with sadness and their lives will be dark and
drear without little Herbert.
Dear little Herbert has left us.
And his loss we deeply mourn;
Free from sorrow. free from care.
Dear little Herbert is waiting there.
This little babe leaves many friends to sym
pathize with his bercayed parents.

There are no less than 80 widows
of revolutionary soldiers on the pen
sion list. AS several of them are
under eighty, it is not improbable
that we shall still in 1900 be paying
pensions to the wives of men who
fought in n war that closed before
1888. We now have 322, 756 pen
%sioners on the rolls. and will proba-
bly, have some 500, 900 by the year
1900. The older the veterans get,
the more attractive they become to
young women DESTROYS of insuring
themselves a comfortable income the
rest of their days. 1t will therefore
be on to the year 1000 before we
shall be done paying the cost of the
civil war.

lass.

Mr.. James l.. Matthews, the color
ed lawyer of Albany, n. Y, whose
nomination by President Cleveland
for register of deeds for the District
of Columbia was rejected by the Re-
publican Senate, has written a long
letter to Chairman Edward Murphy,
of the Democratic State committee.
This letter is in reply to one recently
published by Fred Douglass, who
formerly held the position to which
Mr.. Matthews was nominated. AT
ter a critical review of Mr.. Douglass's
statements, Mr.. Matthews, in con-
clusion says:
Party lines are resting very
lightly on the shoulders of men, aud
the day has passed when Intelligent
thinking colored men can he swayed
by references to the preiudiccs of the
past. They are no longer romantic
they read history Alright, and judg-
ment and reason hold sway. This is
essentially q practical age. The dead
past buries its dead. Better is the
live ass than the dead lion. A heal
thy public sentiment is being devel-
oped by the conservative policy OF
the New York Democracy.
81 can and will earnestly advise all
colored citizens of the State of New
York, as they value the rights and
privileges of American citizenship.
TO be men, not chattels, things. l
would say to them, you have rights,
maintain them; you have duties,
perform them !; you are no longer

lican rattle or tickled with a Repuh-
lican straw. The words Of no dotard
can drag you from the right. Con-
slider, ponder. Then if you believe
from your heart that You should tie
yourself as bondsman to the so-callcd
Republican chariot, do so.
But if you believe that in the
Democratic party is a broader patri-
otism. a frcer air, 4 manlier appre-
citation of free men, join us. and with
a proud step keep time to the music
of that party that is the exponent OF
labor, which is our lot /; of patriotism
which is II breath; of freedom,
which is our hearts best and sweet

We have before us 4 half sheet of
note paper found by Mr.. c. Frank
Jones. of this place, in 4 Washington
City hotel, several years ago, upon
which is written the following:
until ovcrpowered. mot having

rope in C~harIc<tnmn. having dragged
to the scaffnld with him a co-conspir-
ator. wortlicr. it would seem from his
social position. Of a better position
than an army officer of John Browns
government. l refer to Stone" the
blue eyed, fair-skinned youth" for
whom so many hearts were bleeding.
He was q brother-in-law to a former
governor of Indiana, and the grief
and modification to his family was
heart-rending. 1t is strange that of
all the people remaining in Harper's
Ferry and Charlestown who witness
cd these executions, the spot where
the scaffold was erected has hecn
lost, and no one in C~harlcstown can
point it out to you. The war came
and ruined everything, the spot
where old John Brown met the ven
geance of outraged justice cannot
now, strange to say, be Unidentified.
You will see driving out at evening,
or walking through the streets early
in the morning at Charlcstown, on
days when the weather is nice, 4 fine
looking old gentleman, usually alone !;
q sharp, quick old man, upon whom
three-score and ten have not fallen
so heavily. His name is johnson.
and he was the Prosecuting Attorney
who convicted old Brown. He has
in his possession many interesting
relics of old John Brown, among them
d commission granted by him to one

ry of war under his government. and

Hon. J. Randolph Tucker has some
interesting views on the Mormon
question. He proposes that Utah be
made a State and a national con-
stitutional amendment be adopted
making polygamy a crime. That a
large body of our citizens should be
unrepresented in the government is
contrary to the genius of our free in
situations. Sooner or later Utah
must become \ State. Some such
measure rs proposed by Mr.. Tucker
would then be the only adequate
means of stamping out the evils OF
polygaIny.
